    Jackie of Kidderminster writes:
    The eariest COTTERILL I have found so far on my husband's tree is
    MATTHEW Cotterill who was baptised on 1 April 1771 at SEIGHFORD, Staffordshire.
    His parents were WILLIAM Cotterill and Mary HODGE, who married on 14 February 1770 at HAUGHTON, Staffordshire.

    Webmaster note:

    Marriage: 22 Sep 1808 GNOSALL, Staffordshire

    Robert COTTERILL
    Spouse: Sarah BROWN
    Marriage: 26 Jan 1826 GNOSALL, Staffordshire

    The BROWN name of nearby HAUGHTON shows up in the PACE lineage also
    My 3X great grandmother was a Mary BROWN m William PACE at HAUGHTON 1 Nov 1785

    MATTHEW married Margaret MOORE at St. Mary's Church, STAFFORD and they had 11 children, 7 girls and 4 boys. Their eldest child WILLIAM, whose line we take, married Ellen BUTLER on 6 February 1827 in Stafford and had four children, William, Edwin, Matthew and Emma.

    Matthew married Rosanna FLOWERS and they also had 4 children. Ellen, William, Emma and Matthew. Matthew, Rosanna and their children Emma and William moved to Birmingham sometime before the 1881 census. Their other son, Matthew, joined the army. William and Martha were supposed to have had 23 children, but to date I have only found 6. If any of this means anything to other Cotterills, please let me know.
